Prior to entering the warm-up room, a USASF official will verify the identity of each athlete on your official Worlds roster. 1. Athletes will line up in the same order as on the roster. 2. Athletes will present government-issued photo identifications. A USASF official will use the IDs to verify athletes on the official Worlds roster. A state ID may be obtained through your local DMV office and may six or more weeks to receive. The minimum age required for a state ID varies by state. Passports typically take six to eight weeks. Please plan accordingly. It is the responsibility of the club and its representatives to allocate ample time to receive acceptable forms of identification so that athletes may enter the warm-up room and compete.
